#1 Although you might think otherwise, martial arts training is actually discouraged here in China. The average security guard is just some Joe with no skills, and not particularly fit. Mall cops, not ex special forces. That's starting to become an issue in schools where bewildered parents wonder how some guy can walk in and knife 20 kids and security cannot stop him. On the plus side, China is developing some pretty formidable airline personnel that now join flights, at least domestic ones. They are basically trained flight attendants(which requires 3 years of paramilitary training, combined with learning how to do makeup if you are a girl. I teach them English) that go on to get an additional 3-6 months of martial arts training. They are serious guys, and I would not pull a knife out anywhere near them. They just need to spread that around to schools, etc.

They ask similar questions in Florida.
